Shannon and I moved into our new abode last Thursday, May 26! We moved from Tampa to Clearwater, and I’m so excited to be this close to the beach! It was more of a transition for Shannon than it was for me though. Shannon’s lived in the same part of Tampa since she moved here about 3 years ago, and since Tampa is a much bigger city than Clearwater is, we aren’t as close to everything (mall, stores, etc...) like we used to be. Since being in Clearwater, whenever Shannon or I are planning on going into Tampa for something, we ask the other if we need anything while we’re in town, which I think is pretty funny, since we’re talking like we live out in the country now, away from the rest of society, but we’re still really close to downtown Tampa and St. Petersburg. Plus, we’re right across the street from Super-Target (which Shannon and I both agree is really dangerous), Publix and many other places.
Our parents came and helped us move, which was very nice. My Dad got the job – as always – of putting things (furniture) together, as well as hanging everything on the walls. Love you Daddy!! One piece of furniture in particular that was literally a “beast” to put together was my desk. We have forever nicknamed my desk as “the beast”. It really is a big piece of furniture, but my argument was that it wasn’t that big in the store J. It has A LOT of storage space though, which is a must for me.
Thankfully though, we hired a moving company to help us move from a 3rd floor to a 3rd floor. We were all tired enough after taking everything that was packed in all 3 of our cars up the stairs and down the stairs and up the stairs and down the stairs. I can’t image how we would have felt, had we moved all of our furniture too, as well as whatever else was on the moving truck. I’m not certain on this, and Shannon agrees with me, but I really think that there are more steps going to the 3rd floor in this apartment building, or the steps are steeper somehow. I just feel more tired after I’ve climbed the who knows how many steps there are to get to the 3rd floor in this building.
I had all of my new bedroom furniture delivered the day after we moved, and I LOVE it!! It’s so gorgeous and very antique looking. The color of the comforter set that I picked out goes perfectly with the furniture. After setting everything up and decorating it -as well as my bathroom- the way I wanted it, I’m so happy with how everything turned out! Plus, my closet is HUGE! As I started to arrange and organize all my clothes to where I wanted them, I didn’t know what to do with all the space. I’m really good at organizing in small spaces, but I have a harder time, believe it or not, with larger spaces. I don’t think I’ll have a very difficult time adjusting though
